Costco Basket maybe in your area

I was hoping to get a few for a private course up here in Mount Vernon but the Burlington Costco did not have any. When they looked it up she said it looks like there are two at the Aurora Costco. So if you are in the Everett area check it out. If it is a rebranded instep basket then its a pretty sweet deal for only $65. Just thought I would spread the word.

Picked up the last one at the Aurora Costco tonight... I think they're even lower quality than the instep baskets, but I bought it for the back yard anyway. It's pretty darn wobbly, but I figured I could modify it some. FYI, this item is discontinued, but there will be five more arriving at this Costco around July 2nd.

they are selling down a little, so that means that there are that many more home baskets out there locally, which has to be a good thing. I figure if their inventory of 25 or so disappears, it means they've all found a local home... which means i'll have to continue my putting practice up to keep pace.

ok, ski, could you put up a pic of your homemade(?)... I'm always interested to see what people can create. Is it the spider one?

One good reason is that there's less bending down to pick up discs if a higher percentage of them stick in the chains/basket.

Also, because many quality (firm) putts blow through, I find myself further developing the bad habit of putting 'to' the chains, instead of 'through' them. (this is good practice if I'm going to be playing on hula-hoop baskets or at Lake Stevens I suppose)

Thirdly, it's fun to modify things and make them your own.
